5
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Hey, good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to Eye on the Ball

6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.239
<v Speaker 3>here a Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve Rivera alongside

7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 3>partner Jagan Zeus. Got our guy Ryan in today. I'm

8
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 3>already a step ahead of myself and got it right

9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 3>for the first hour. We get right for all two hours.

10
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 3>Thanks Ryan. What are we gonna complain about today? Jay,

11
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Let's spin the wheel. Let's start spin the wheel, and

12
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna land on practice. We're talking about practice. What

13
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 3>do you think about what's going on with.

14
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 4>Who can't who can't, who can't see? I'm shaking my

15
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 4>head right now because this is just stupid. It's just dumb,

16
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 4>and I I'd be curious to know where this stuff

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 4>is coming from. But apparently, and we saw Justin Spears

18
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 4>tweet about this yesterday, that the media is no longer

19
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 4>permitted to report on what they see at practice. That

20
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 4>only permitted to report on what they get from the

21
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 4>press conferences. After which we all know they last about

22
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 4>fifteen minutes. You talk to a coach for eight minutes,

23
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 4>and then you get a player, and that's it, meaning

24
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 4>you and the general public, you, the season ticket holders, you,

25
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 4>the fans. That's all you get. And apparently has something

26
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 4>to do with some reporters talking about stuff in the

27
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 4>media that somebody in the football program didn't like seeing

28
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 4>in the media. There's a lots, you know, a lot

29
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 4>of buzz on on social media about what what all that?

30
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 3>Right? Right? I can't ream. I think you're talking thirty seven,

31
00:01:57.719 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>thirty five years ago, right, You and I did this.

32
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 3>In fact, Gary, Gary the Charnie Durhamburger talked about this

33
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 3>on Twitter. I'm glad I don't have to cover a

34
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 3>team living on X and Twitter right now on social

35
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>media because we we went to practice and guess what

36
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 3>we were able to do, right about it? Outside of

37
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 3>maybe a thing.

38
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 4>You couldn't You couldn't talk about plays and plays information

39
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 4>they ran. They ran this trick play and you couldn't

40
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 4>do that. And we understood that was true. That strategy,

41
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 4>I really understand we couldn't talk about strategy. But if

42
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 4>some dude got hurt and I think we were able

43
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 4>to report that. That was the whole reason we went

44
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 4>to practice see if anybody, if any hurt, right quarterback

45
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 4>or whatever.

46
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 3>Right. Uh. And here's the thing, Okay, so it's both

47
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I think both sides are at fall. Right. So you

48
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>get hurt, some somebody gets hurt, you report it. Uh,

49
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>and now everybody knows, well, guess what is At some

50
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 3>point they're gonna know, they're gonna they're gonna know, and

51
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna say, how did what's his name got hurt?

52
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 3>It looked like he got hurt. How's he doing? Okay? Oh,

53
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 3>you know I don't talk about injuries pretty much, right,

54
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 3>but hey, did your eyes light to you? Did your

55
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 3>eyes light to you? Yeah, he's carried off in the

56
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 3>cart exactly.

57
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, you know they're not doing CPR and somebody

58
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna report they were doing CPR on somebody.

59
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 3>Right, Okay, give it time, go ask the question. They

60
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 3>say they don't talk. Now when now you say he

61
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 3>was well, he was carried off in the cart. Yeah,

62
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 3>they can't confirm that he's hurt or not. But this

63
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 3>is what happened.

64
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 4>It's ridiculous, Steve, It's ridiculous and it's I don't know. Uh,

65
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 4>I don't. I guess I don't get the thinking. Why

66
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 4>you think less about you out in the public is better.

67
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 3>Than I totally agree with.

68
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 4>You're trying to sell tickets, you're trying to fill up

69
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 4>your your your your stadium, tell the arena or whatever

70
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 4>you want us. You don't even let us tell the stories.

71
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 4>You get to pick who we get to talk to.

72
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 4>We don't get to pick that anymore. Now you can

73
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 4>you can arrange to Okay, I want to do a

74
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 4>story on X can I interview him? And they set

75
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 4>they set that up maybe right, or it takes a

76
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 4>week to get something like that set up. Why they

77
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 4>don't want the media telling the stories, I don't understand.

78
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, do you think it's Do you think it's new staff,

79
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.120
<v Speaker 3>new people. Uh, they're kind of just kind of testing

80
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 3>the waters, treading the waters. Don't want to screw up

81
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 3>all the above.

82
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Steve, you know all of the above. I mean,

83
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 4>you know, I don't know if you know. Uh, Look,

84
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 4>Brent Brannan has been in Power Fight Football, He's coaches

85
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 4>at UCLA and all these places. You know, are there

86
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 4>are there some guys who maybe aren't used to the

87
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 4>attention that's coming with all this, all the national attention,

88
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 4>there's more, there's more award nominations today right for their players.

89
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 4>So there's all this attention that all these players are getting.

90
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 3>Is it?

91
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 4>Is it great expectations that they don't like that they're

92
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 4>under field, that they're under pressure from.

93
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 3>Well here's another istion. You talk about attention, and you

94
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 3>talk about stories and you talk about it. We talked

95
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 3>about this, and I know Donnie calls every now and

96
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 3>again about this. This is kind of big boy football.

97
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 3>It is big boy it's big boy football. So we've

98
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 3>established that. Now, guess what they're doing. They're getting paid

99
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 3>to play big boy football. At what point do you

100
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.600
<v Speaker 3>kind of and we've talked about this, there's a there's

101
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 3>a fine line of treating on my kids or treating

102
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 3>like big boy football.

103
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's more big boy football now than it was.

104
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 4>And this goes in the other direction. You should be

105
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 4>able to talk talk about these You should be able

106
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 4>to talk to these guys.

107
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 3>So so you work for the Star, I work for

108
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 3>the Citizen for a number of years. Uh, I'm just

109
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 3>wondering how it would have flown with my managing editor

110
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 3>who was kind of like, you know, you have to

111
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 3>pass get this through. Well, we're going to practice, but

112
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 3>we're not allowed to do this. I'm not sure if

113
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 3>they would have said no, well, here's a story.

114
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 4>There's always a story, right, here's the story that that

115
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 4>you know, we've talked about it before that weekend, that

116
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 4>week that Arizona had to buy they're getting ready to play,

117
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 4>they changed. They had been running, you know, the wishbone

118
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 4>and the run and shoot right, yeah, and they were

119
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 4>and they're running it in nineteen nineteen eighty. They had

120
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.120
<v Speaker 4>been running out of a wishbone formation and in an

121
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 4>off week they just changed. They just changed the formation.

122
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 4>All they did was instead of a wishbone, the back

123
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.480
<v Speaker 4>who was on either the left or the right got

124
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 4>more in a tail tailback position. So and they were

125
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 4>calling it the eyebone. So it's basically an eye formation

126
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 4>with another with another running back on either side on

127
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 4>the side. And they made that change during the week.

128
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.120
<v Speaker 4>I went to practice all week. I didn't see it. Okay,

129
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 4>I didn't see it.

130
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 3>David Aldrid's ran and wild.

131
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Right, and look, we we had you know, we knew

132
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 4>what the rules were that you couldn't talk about that stuff,

133
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 4>but I didn't see it. So I got called on

134
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 4>the carpet, you know, after that, after that game, I

135
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 4>got called the car like how did you miss that?

136
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 4>You didn't how did you not report on that? And

137
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 4>I said, I didn't see it. Yeah, I missed it

138
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 4>well somewhere in the media. But Henry, who was the

139
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 4>was the SID at the time, the sports information director

140
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 4>at the time, there was somebody had a note that

141
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it was Greg or somebody else,

142
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 4>said no, we told them they couldn't write about that.

143
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember that.

144
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 4>And our sports and I don't know if he said

145
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 4>it in the media or set it directly to our

146
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 4>sports editor like, how did you know? And I he

147
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 4>said that, and our sports editor goes, what the hell

148
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 4>are they talking about? What do you mean you can't

149
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 4>write about what they're doing in practice? They said, I

150
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>never said that. All I'm saying is that, you know,

151
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 4>they don't want us talking about trick play, YadA YadA. Yeah, strategy,

152
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 4>which is fine, but we talked about injuries all the time.

153
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 4>But the point being that when my sports editor heard

154
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 4>the SID say that we're not allowed to report on

155
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 4>things we see, they flipped out. They completely flipped out.

156
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 4>So you know the answer would be, you know, sports

157
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.600
<v Speaker 4>editors should be pissed that you can't go to practice

158
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 4>and and you know what and if you don't want,

159
00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.759
<v Speaker 4>if you don't want the media talking about that stuff.

160
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 3>Didn't close practice and have them available after the practice. Right,

161
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 3>So now, Jay, I have practice is over. There's a

162
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 3>ten minute cool enough period or whatever, and go okay,

163
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 3>how did it go today?

164
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:11.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

165
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 3>It went well, went well, everything was fine. Did anybody

166
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.839
<v Speaker 3>get hurt or did anything major happen? No? No, how

167
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:19.800
<v Speaker 3>do we know that? We don't.

168
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 4>We don't. And that's say remember Stoops practices were closed

169
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 4>tight Yeah, I mean those are things were closed something something?

170
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 3>What that were you doing it there? Well not practicing?

171
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but it's it's I don't get the I understand.

172
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 4>You know, you don't want people to know things about

173
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 4>you because you know, you don't want to get somebody

174
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 4>competitive advantage and all that stuff. But simple stuff, yeah,

175
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 4>like like you know what they're going to know your

176
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.200
<v Speaker 4>guys not playing anyway.

177
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:51.919
<v Speaker 3>So what are you what are you doing?

178
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:53.240
<v Speaker 4>Right? You know?

179
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 3>I always bring up that Stoops. They would they thought

180
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 3>they would have a spy chasing them on sixth Avenue

181
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 3>looking at the practices. Let's just play if you're better

182
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 3>than me, kicking kick my hands, if you know.

183
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I mean and again when lut when Luke

184
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 4>shut down the shut down, you know practices, I thought

185
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 4>that was more about she just didn't like how much

186
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:13.679
<v Speaker 4>attention they were.

187
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you exactly why it happened. So I started

188
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 3>in ninety one covering it, and I'm gonna give kudos to

189
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.080
<v Speaker 3>a guy why it happened. So at ninety one it

190
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 3>was open. We'd go, we'd go to practice on the

191
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 3>road and here he'd go to their shoot around. That

192
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 3>it's our availability to talk to the kim him at

193
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 3>the end if there was anything. He was reluctant in

194
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 3>doing that, but he did it and allowed it. But

195
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 3>when when Bruce came on the scene, I was ten

196
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 3>years into this into the program. Bruce and I were practices,

197
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 3>and then Bruce became kind of Bruce. You know, Bruce

198
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 3>was being Bruce, and he was there and a lot

199
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot and I was too, but it was Bruce

200
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 3>being Bruce. And then Luke's kind of like not Anamassi,

201
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 3>but you know, the back and forth and that let's

202
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 3>put an end to this and I don't have to

203
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 3>worry about this stuff. Wow. And that's why it happened.

204
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 3>That's why it happened. I'm sure if you ask somebody

205
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 3>gun behind the scenes, that's why it happened. But it

206
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 3>was nothing, nothing the fairies. It was just listen this

207
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.519
<v Speaker 3>and that's how it happened. And it continued. Sean was

208
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 3>even more so. Sean was not available after practices on

209
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.600
<v Speaker 3>the road or otherwise he was. He was very reluctant

210
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 3>to do that for whatever reason. But that's how Luke

211
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 3>just got tired of it. It was just tired of

212
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 3>it because why do these guys continue to be here

213
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 3>when they really don't have to be here? And we

214
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.600
<v Speaker 3>were because I capped out it that Michael had my

215
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.240
<v Speaker 3>that was my office. Good practice right, good practice right.

216
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 3>And Bruce did it too, but he was more of

217
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 3>being Bruce, which he was good at being Bruce. And no, no,

218
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 3>because you know he's my competitor, he's a good friend.

219
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 3>So that's how it kind of smiled.

220
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 4>You know it just again when when when you're when

221
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 4>you've got a product to sell and that's it. You

222
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 4>got a product to sell, but you don't want anybody

223
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 4>to see it.

224
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing? That's it? No, that's a great

225
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 3>way to put it, because that's it. And the boss,

226
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, she's new here and I'm sure she dealt

227
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 3>with this everywhere. You got a product you sell, but

228
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 3>you're keeping a secret. Yeah, what do you do? I

229
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 3>don't think you do this.

230
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean but even Steve, even last year with Jed

231
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 4>fish and the practice is being open, you still didn't

232
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:14.639
<v Speaker 4>get a lot of stuff.

233
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, I'll give you this. And maybe the

234
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 3>right hand doesn't know what the left hand doing and

235
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.240
<v Speaker 3>we rely on them forgetting our guest guys, and we

236
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 3>love you guys. Uh. You remember the time when I

237
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 3>think it was Jeff or somebody in the in the room,

238
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.320
<v Speaker 3>whoever was X guy s I D saying okay, now

239
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 3>you have to raise your hand and identify who you

240
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.519
<v Speaker 3>are for the media, and Jed went like, what the hell?

241
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 3>So the right hand didn't know what the left hand

242
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.720
<v Speaker 3>was doing because Jedd wasn't informat. This was gonna happen, right.

243
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 3>How long did that last? Yeah? Not very, not very

244
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 3>not very I know you are just I know you are.

245
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you even know what? Yeah?

246
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 4>It didn't it lasted like a week.

247
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Right, So you don't want to say maybe they're just

248
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 3>doing things. Because they're doing things and the people what

249
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 3>what you don't need this to happen.

250
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, ye, no, I yeah, I know it's uh but

251
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 4>ste my opinion on that goes all the way back

252
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 4>to when Luke you know, uh close practices. I didn't know,

253
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, the background of the story. But what I

254
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.440
<v Speaker 4>did know was that we no longer were getting the stories.

255
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 4>We were no longer getting the personal stories that we

256
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 4>were getting, you know, when we would interview you know,

257
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:23.600
<v Speaker 4>Kerr and Elliott and Anthony Cook and those guys, and

258
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.559
<v Speaker 4>we could go to their dorm room and spend an

259
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 4>hour or two with them, you know, and learn about

260
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.639
<v Speaker 4>their lives. So then we can tell their tell their stories, uh,

261
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 4>to the to the people who are paying money to

262
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 4>go see those guys play. And that's the part that

263
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.720
<v Speaker 4>that's the part that bothered me for a long time,

264
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.039
<v Speaker 4>that that they did that, and and it's and it

265
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 4>did start with Loot, but then everybody's doing it.

266
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's doing across the board, across the board. Well, it

267
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:48.919
<v Speaker 3>reminds me of last year there was who was one

268
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 3>of the bigger stories in college football last year USC. Yeah,

269
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 3>a reporter on the sidelines waiting for the press conference,

270
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.960
<v Speaker 3>two guys talking on the side, saying, right, what are

271
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:00.080
<v Speaker 3>you going to say to them? Oh? I don't know

272
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 3>what you're gonna say. Well, and so it was it

273
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.679
<v Speaker 3>was part of public conversation, right, And he writes about that, Well,

274
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 3>you can't because it wasn't part of the press covers.

275
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 3>What So then they take that with my eyes, Yes,

276
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Speaker 3>and and the credentials removed or suspended for a week. Yeah,

277
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 3>how much about n upoor was that?

278
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, unbelievable. I don't know it make it makes no sense.

279
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.120
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know if if if, if there's enough

280
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.679
<v Speaker 4>of an uproarder that they'll they'll change their minds about that.

281
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 4>But it's it's just and especially when you're Arizona football, right,

282
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 4>and you're trying to get from forty five forty to

283
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 4>forty five thousand game to fifty thousand a game, and

284
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:48.159
<v Speaker 4>now you're not gonna let the media see and tell Look,

<v Speaker 4>there's some people out there gonna say, good, get the

286
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 4>media out of there. Their pain in the ass anyways,

287
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:53.399
<v Speaker 4>and then the people are gonna say, you know, what

<v Speaker 4>I want to read the stuff. I want to know

412
00:19:55.480 --> 00:20:01.960
<v Speaker 4>I could hear you breathing, because we're in a huff here.

413
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 3>We're in a huff because we see that people who

414
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 3>go to practice can't talk about practice. I feel like

415
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I feel like alan practice talk about practice, not the

416
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:19.079
<v Speaker 3>day exactly. How was it back in your day? Did

417
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.400
<v Speaker 3>you guys mind stuff like the media hanging out.

418
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.960
<v Speaker 12>I remember them being able to be at practice. I

419
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.119
<v Speaker 12>remember seeing guys like Jay at practice, So I think

420
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.119
<v Speaker 12>I think that it was okay during that time.

421
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well we talked about this your world school, guys,

422
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:38.960
<v Speaker 4>and you're being able to go to practice. We just

423
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 4>grab you after a practice. We wanted to talk to you,

424
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.359
<v Speaker 4>and we talk to you. You know, I get what

425
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:46.319
<v Speaker 4>all the way it's all happening. A lot of practices

426
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.480
<v Speaker 4>are closed, or if they're open, you know, you only

427
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:50.720
<v Speaker 4>get to talk to the people that they picked to

428
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.880
<v Speaker 4>talk to. But yeah, to me, you know, the question is,

429
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:55.759
<v Speaker 4>were we a painting the butt to you guys?

430
00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.799
<v Speaker 12>I didn't think so. There were certain groups, there were

431
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.160
<v Speaker 12>certain people and talent that work that tended to be

432
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 12>but you were not one of them. And really, I

433
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 12>think that the way we felt about it is, you know,

434
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 12>we love the fact that someone wanted to shine a

435
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 12>light on us as players and give us a little

436
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:14.599
<v Speaker 12>bit of shine, So that was not a problem. I think.

437
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.759
<v Speaker 12>You know, there's good in bad that comes with that too,

438
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 12>you know, and sometimes people are being really critical of you.

439
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.960
<v Speaker 12>You know, we're kids. It's sometimes it's a little tough

440
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.559
<v Speaker 12>to take, but it comes to the territory when you're

441
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.400
<v Speaker 12>you're an athlete, so it just comes.

442
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.039
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about something that we've been talking about. Okay,

443
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 3>so you're you're student athlete now and you're you're doing

444
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.119
<v Speaker 3>what you do now, you're making a lot of money.

445
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:40.119
<v Speaker 3>How how much is fair game for being critical?

446
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:44.000
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I agree, I agree because I think that when

447
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 12>you now they're they're basically employees and and they're here

448
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.319
<v Speaker 12>for a job, and so yeah, I mean, even though

449
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:54.079
<v Speaker 12>they're still kids, they're they're they're getting paid like adults.

450
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 12>So you have to be prepared for both sides of it.

451
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.559
<v Speaker 12>I've always taken the approach that you know, you just

452
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:01.200
<v Speaker 12>have to keep your head down and keep working and

453
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 12>some people are going to like what you do, but

454
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 12>you just can't you can't take too much. You know,

455
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:07.720
<v Speaker 12>you can't take it too personal no matter what you do,

456
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:09.279
<v Speaker 12>because it just comes to the territory.

457
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.960
<v Speaker 3>In fact, they're getting paid better than the man.

458
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 12>We were starving in college too. So when when I

459
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 12>look at these guys, man comes going and eating out

460
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:23.039
<v Speaker 12>at the fancy restaurants on the weekends and stuff, It's like, Man,

461
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:26.279
<v Speaker 12>if I didn't have my wife's mom who happened to

462
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.960
<v Speaker 12>live in town, I literally would have probably starved college.

463
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know, I hear you, I hear you. You know,

464
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean you remember these guys. I remember did a

465
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 4>summer story on I tell you. I think it was

466
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:39.799
<v Speaker 4>David Aldridge and it was John Brandam was he alignment

467
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.160
<v Speaker 4>at that time, so I knew that they were around

468
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 4>for the summer. So they say, go do a story

469
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 4>on what these guys do in the summer and how

470
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.480
<v Speaker 4>they make it through the summer and stuff. And they

471
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 4>talked about that that they just didn't have any money,

472
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, that there were you know, four big guys,

473
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, in a two bedroom apartment splitting everything so

474
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 4>that they could have money to get pizza or go

475
00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:59.640
<v Speaker 4>to a movie or something, which often they couldn't. It

476
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:01.319
<v Speaker 4>was just it was tough it was a hard story

477
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:03.559
<v Speaker 4>to write, as I recall, really hard story.

478
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:06.359
<v Speaker 12>Well, yeah, and that's what people don't appreciate. It's not

479
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.720
<v Speaker 12>just that, you know, we didn't have money, but you're

480
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 12>also trying to be an athlete full time and there's

481
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:15.759
<v Speaker 12>requirements that come along with that. You know, you're trying

482
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:17.839
<v Speaker 12>to gain weight, you're trying to get strong, and if

483
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:20.920
<v Speaker 12>you can't even get the proper nutrition, it's pretty rough

484
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.359
<v Speaker 12>to do that on top of school, you know, trying

485
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.519
<v Speaker 12>to maintain maintain your grades and do all that stuff.

486
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:28.720
<v Speaker 12>So it's difficult. It was very difficult.

487
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:30.839
<v Speaker 3>So and before we get talking about the team, and

488
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 3>I think we were allowed to do that. We're allowed

489
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:34.559
<v Speaker 3>to Well, you we could talk about it to each other.

490
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:37.920
<v Speaker 3>It's for you. For you, you're in house, you know

491
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:40.400
<v Speaker 3>the call is coming from inside that room, so you're

492
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 3>doing your job. Do you have to temper yourself a little?

493
00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:45.799
<v Speaker 3>And then I know you do, but do you do

494
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.480
<v Speaker 3>that purposely or how do you handle that.

495
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:55.559
<v Speaker 12>More specifically? I'm sorry, Well I missed the temper myself referring.

496
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:58.359
<v Speaker 3>To me doing your job with the radio and being

497
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.799
<v Speaker 3>critical or not critical game days.

498
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.720
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely, I think I think my job is to be objective.

499
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 12>So if I see something that I think is you know,

500
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 12>not correct or not right, it's okay to talk about

501
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:15.759
<v Speaker 12>it as long as you're not just bashing people. I

502
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.960
<v Speaker 12>think that there's a difference between if somebody is running

503
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.519
<v Speaker 12>an incorrect route and you say, hey, he's running an

504
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.680
<v Speaker 12>incorrect route. He's doing it consistently. You know, maybe we

505
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.440
<v Speaker 12>want to try to figure out why that is, rather

506
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:29.799
<v Speaker 12>than seeing the guy stinks, you know, and things and

507
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 12>he sucks and all that stuff. I just think that

508
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 12>you just have to be objective because people are not

509
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:35.880
<v Speaker 12>stupid either. I mean, they can all see what you

510
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.960
<v Speaker 12>see too, So I think it's your job to be objective.

511
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.759
<v Speaker 12>And granted I say I see it through my blue

512
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 12>and red goggles, but I still try to be you know,

513
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.839
<v Speaker 12>my perspective. I still try to be objective about it.

514
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's good to hear lament because that's I mean,

515
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.240
<v Speaker 4>that's really what you know you and you know you

516
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.319
<v Speaker 4>and Brian. I mean I've said years for years about

517
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:59.680
<v Speaker 4>Brian is that he is the most you know, objective

518
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:06.079
<v Speaker 4>f or uh announcer you hear on anybody. I mean

519
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 4>you you hear some of the sec announcers. You hear

520
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:10.480
<v Speaker 4>some of the Big ten announcers, you hear the A

521
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:14.160
<v Speaker 4>SU announcers, USC some pro and you go, dude, just

522
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:17.519
<v Speaker 4>go sit in the seats. You're a fan, you're you know,

523
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 4>we're trying to We want to know what's happening, not

524
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:23.160
<v Speaker 4>why you think that ref sucks and that it's And

525
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.400
<v Speaker 4>I've said a long that you guys do as good

526
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:27.359
<v Speaker 4>a job of that as as really anybody. So I

527
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 4>just want to throw that out there. So so let's, uh,

528
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 4>let's let's go to something that may or may I

529
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:34.920
<v Speaker 4>think would be near and dear to your heart. What

530
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 4>do you talk about as much as you can? What

531
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.000
<v Speaker 4>do you see in these running backs? Because I think

532
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:42.680
<v Speaker 4>that's one of the big unknowns about this team in

533
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 4>terms of what they've got going this year. We know

534
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:47.720
<v Speaker 4>about team act, we know about uh THEFEEDA, we know

535
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 4>about the guys on defense and the receivers and whatnot.

536
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:54.000
<v Speaker 4>What what's this running back room look like? What does

537
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:55.079
<v Speaker 4>it look like to you?

538
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

539
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 4>In camp so far?

540
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:04.640
<v Speaker 12>You know, very dynamic. I think Jacorey Cross, Jacory Krosskey

541
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 12>Merit or Bill Merritt as they like to call him,

542
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:10.960
<v Speaker 12>he is He's a special player. I mean from the

543
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 12>first time. You know, I knew what he did at

544
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.400
<v Speaker 12>New Mexico, but when I saw him in person, the

545
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.279
<v Speaker 12>thing that really stood out to me first of all

546
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.640
<v Speaker 12>is he's powerfully built. He is. I mean, he's got

547
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:25.480
<v Speaker 12>some of the best feat that I've seen in a

548
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:28.200
<v Speaker 12>long time. I mean, the way this guy can cut,

549
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:32.119
<v Speaker 12>stop and start get back to full speeds, it's pretty incredible.

550
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:35.720
<v Speaker 12>The way he can maneuver in and out of holes

551
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.759
<v Speaker 12>and get back to full speed, and just it's really

552
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.200
<v Speaker 12>really fun to watch. He's got great hands, He's a

553
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 12>complete back, breaks a lot of attackle breaks, a lot

554
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 12>of tackles though too. He runs with a very physical style.

555
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 12>So I really think it would not surprise me to

556
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.440
<v Speaker 12>see him in the NFL. And and even the coaches

557
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.839
<v Speaker 12>they feel the family that he's an NFL caliber running back.

558
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:59.759
<v Speaker 12>You can't necessarily say that about everybody, but he's a

559
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.160
<v Speaker 12>he's a really good player. And then behind him, I

560
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:09.480
<v Speaker 12>also like the transfer from Quali Tonnley, the transfer from

561
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 12>Santose State. I mean, just watching him in camp the

562
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 12>two practices that I was there, he ripped off like

563
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.519
<v Speaker 12>a sixty seventy yard touchdown. I went untouched and I

564
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.759
<v Speaker 12>was like only smoked. He's a big time player, you know.

565
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 12>And if you look at his film at San Jose

566
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.799
<v Speaker 12>State Saw you saw a lot of the same things.

567
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:28.960
<v Speaker 12>You know, while he wasn't even a starter, he was

568
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:32.160
<v Speaker 12>constantly making big plays. And he's a physical you know,

569
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.559
<v Speaker 12>kind of a downhill player almost in the ranging like

570
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:37.799
<v Speaker 12>two fifteen or so, a six feet really physical back.

571
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:42.000
<v Speaker 12>And Kedrick Grassano another big guy. He's probably the biggest

572
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.079
<v Speaker 12>out of all of them. He's a really downhill runner,

573
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.279
<v Speaker 12>really fast, getting transferred in from old miss. Really he's

574
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.720
<v Speaker 12>also you know, I mean he's a big time player,

575
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.480
<v Speaker 12>this guy, this guy running, he's the big guy. He's

576
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:57.079
<v Speaker 12>kind of in the same vein as DJ from last year,

577
00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:59.519
<v Speaker 12>but he's also a DJ Williams. I'm sorry, he's in

578
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.359
<v Speaker 12>the same vein the DJ Walliams. Kind of a big

579
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:04.559
<v Speaker 12>downhill straight line runner that can really run you over

580
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:06.759
<v Speaker 12>and put some hurt on you. And then we're Speedy,

581
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.519
<v Speaker 12>it seems, really taking his game to another level this

582
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:12.519
<v Speaker 12>year too. The thing that it's different about Speedy this year,

583
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:16.160
<v Speaker 12>running with a lot more patients, and he's trusting his speed,

584
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:19.319
<v Speaker 12>you know, so he can be patient, let a play development,

585
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.279
<v Speaker 12>then explode through there and what and his speed as

586
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:24.240
<v Speaker 12>apparent when you see him on the field, he's running

587
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:27.079
<v Speaker 12>away from people big play after big play, and they're

588
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:28.880
<v Speaker 12>finding better ways to use him this year. So I

589
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:30.720
<v Speaker 12>think it's gonna be exciting. I really like the room

590
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:31.359
<v Speaker 12>this year.

591
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 3>If you can't tell, you didn't even talk about a

592
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 3>guy from last year who I thought was on the

593
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:39.079
<v Speaker 3>custom of being one of the m vps was Coleman,

594
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:43.240
<v Speaker 3>who who they needed to open up Alfina and Teammac right,

595
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.759
<v Speaker 3>the passing games is helped by them, So that's pretty

596
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:49.680
<v Speaker 3>encouraging from the kids in New Mexico if this group

597
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:53.079
<v Speaker 3>can help help those two become more dynamic.

598
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:56.839
<v Speaker 12>Oh yeah, And I really think also the way that

599
00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:58.759
<v Speaker 12>they run the ball this year, it's a lot different.

600
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:01.640
<v Speaker 12>They're you know, without giving away too much, they're their

601
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 12>their style of running is way more downhill and they

602
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.759
<v Speaker 12>and they're they're not afraid to push the issue and

603
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 12>run the ball, whereas last year I felt like the

604
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.920
<v Speaker 12>run was almost a compliment to the passing game. I

605
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:14.720
<v Speaker 12>don't really think that they really used to, you know,

606
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 12>try to dominate with the run game. But I really

607
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.440
<v Speaker 12>think this team has the ability with the way that

608
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:22.799
<v Speaker 12>they play, and you'll see it. Like I say, I

609
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:24.839
<v Speaker 12>don't want to give away lots, but we'll see that

610
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.960
<v Speaker 12>they can really get after you in the run game.

611
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:29.200
<v Speaker 12>And I really I like what I've seen so far.

612
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 12>So I mean, we've only seen it against them, so

613
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:33.680
<v Speaker 12>we've got to see it against somebody else. But I

614
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:34.400
<v Speaker 12>like what I've seen.

615
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 4>So we we've talked a little bit about you know,

616
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.039
<v Speaker 4>is there's an underrated overrated There's been some stuff about them.

617
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 4>Where do you think they are kind of on the radar?

618
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:45.680
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's a lot of expectations. I know here,

619
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 4>but you know, going to this new conference, media and

620
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:50.960
<v Speaker 4>the big tuff really doesn't know Arizona think I picked

621
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.559
<v Speaker 4>to finish fifth, fifth in the league. There's some people

622
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:56.240
<v Speaker 4>are saying they're going to be good, some people saying,

623
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:59.559
<v Speaker 4>we don't even know. What do you think about all

624
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:01.279
<v Speaker 4>of that? What do you think Arizona kind of sits

625
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:02.400
<v Speaker 4>in that landscape?

626
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.359
<v Speaker 12>I think it's it's fair to not say that they're

627
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:09.920
<v Speaker 12>going to win the league right away because you really

628
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 12>don't know what you have. You know, there's some proven

629
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.720
<v Speaker 12>commodities on the team, and I mean we all know

630
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.319
<v Speaker 12>Noah team Mac and guys like that and Jonas Savina

631
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:21.319
<v Speaker 12>and Manu who got some great players on the team.

632
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:24.680
<v Speaker 12>But it's a new staff nevertheless, and so you've still

633
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 12>got to account for that. Now. I can tell you

634
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:30.039
<v Speaker 12>with what I've seen with my eyes, I was taking

635
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 12>the approach going into it that I wanted to see

636
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.759
<v Speaker 12>what they looked like offensively before I said anything. And

637
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 12>I also wanted to see, you know, what changes they

638
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:39.960
<v Speaker 12>were making on the defensive side of the ball, how

639
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.759
<v Speaker 12>that works. And I could say from a defensive standpoint,

640
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:47.920
<v Speaker 12>they are. They were really aggressive and they're going to

641
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:50.640
<v Speaker 12>cause problems for teams defensively. I can say that was

642
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:53.640
<v Speaker 12>I feel like with a with a measure of confidence

643
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 12>that they're going to cost teams problems on the defensive

644
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.160
<v Speaker 12>side of the ball just with what they're doing schematically

645
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:02.079
<v Speaker 12>and in the way that they are attacking. It's good.

646
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:04.480
<v Speaker 12>It's really good. And on the offensive side, I've been

647
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:07.039
<v Speaker 12>pleasantly surprised because I really didn't know what I was

648
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.480
<v Speaker 12>going to see from the offense because they were they're changes,

649
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:12.119
<v Speaker 12>you know, they that felt like they had a good

650
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:14.599
<v Speaker 12>thing going offensively last year. So they've They've done a

651
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.160
<v Speaker 12>good job of melding what they did a little bit

652
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:20.680
<v Speaker 12>of last year with some new stuff. And I have

653
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:23.480
<v Speaker 12>seen some more explosive plays out of this offense than

654
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 12>I saw it last year, which is pretty neat. So

655
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:28.119
<v Speaker 12>I think that, you know, I really think that they've

656
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:29.960
<v Speaker 12>they've found a nice balance with the offense. So I

657
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.799
<v Speaker 12>feel I feel pretty confident about what I'm seeing. I'm

658
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 12>not ready to say unnike these guys a chance. I

659
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:37.839
<v Speaker 12>want to see how it looks to get somebody else.

660
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:40.200
<v Speaker 12>But you know, it's been competitive, it's been back and forth,

661
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:43.119
<v Speaker 12>and that's what I like to see, you know, in practices.

662
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:45.480
<v Speaker 3>So how long have you been in the in the

663
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.759
<v Speaker 3>job you've had at the radio.

664
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:52.200
<v Speaker 12>Hello, I'm approaching twenty twenty one or twenty two years,

665
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.640
<v Speaker 12>Come on.

666
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Twelve or something. Come on, man. The reason I asked, though,

667
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.200
<v Speaker 3>is this year there's a lot of anticipation. But I

668
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.240
<v Speaker 3>think we talked about it being maybe a little tempered

669
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Speaker 3>in other places, Like Jay said, what do you think

670
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:09.000
<v Speaker 3>because one of the things we talked about a lot.

671
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:12.240
<v Speaker 3>At least Jade knows this Arizona plays really well. One year,

672
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.279
<v Speaker 3>ten wins whatever, and the next year's a bust. What

673
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 3>do you how do you look at this optimistically compared

674
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:20.440
<v Speaker 3>to the previous twenty one years.

675
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:24.720
<v Speaker 12>Well, it's hard to not be optimistic when you've got

676
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:28.200
<v Speaker 12>guys like, you know, Noah Fafita and Jonas vavna Is.

677
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.519
<v Speaker 12>He's a surefire NFL player. I mean, some people think

678
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:33.279
<v Speaker 12>t Max is one of the best receivers in the country.

679
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:36.559
<v Speaker 12>When you've got skilled players like they have, and it's

680
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 12>and they've got some pretty good players on both sides

681
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:41.000
<v Speaker 12>of the ball. And I mean I've I've watched these guys,

682
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 12>you know, compete, and I've watched last I feel like

683
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.160
<v Speaker 12>I you know, I trust my eyes and what I'm

684
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:48.839
<v Speaker 12>seeing and I feel really good about it. The only

685
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.599
<v Speaker 12>thing that concerns me more than anything is is you

686
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 12>know what the depth is going to be like. And

687
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:57.680
<v Speaker 12>that's always an issue, particularly with programs such as such

688
00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:59.960
<v Speaker 12>as Arizona. You know, usually when you're going to places

689
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:03.119
<v Speaker 12>like you know, Ohio State and you know, places like that,

690
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Speaker 12>they just stockpile four and five star players and they're

691
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:08.279
<v Speaker 12>just waiting for the next guy to, you know, just

692
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:12.240
<v Speaker 12>to come up. We're not We're not that, so, you know,

693
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:14.319
<v Speaker 12>like we always need a little bit of luck with

694
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:16.640
<v Speaker 12>injuries and things of that nature. And we've got to

695
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:19.319
<v Speaker 12>make sure that, you know, we're we're spot on in

696
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:21.599
<v Speaker 12>terms of like our conditioning and things like that. And

697
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.319
<v Speaker 12>I really feel like they found something with these with

698
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:26.519
<v Speaker 12>their strength and conditioning staff. So I think they're doing

699
00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:28.920
<v Speaker 12>a lot of everything. You know, they're doing the right

700
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.200
<v Speaker 12>things to get themselves in position. But you still have

701
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 12>to have a measure of luck in this game, because,

702
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 12>I mean football, injuries are part of the game of football,

703
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.119
<v Speaker 12>and so you know, you have to figure out a

704
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:41.200
<v Speaker 12>way to overcome that.

705
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, speaking of speaking of that, so we as well

706
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:45.839
<v Speaker 4>know you know, you're one injury away from you know,

707
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:48.640
<v Speaker 4>a season just collapsing on you. And I hate to

708
00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:50.839
<v Speaker 4>talk about those things, but tell us about the backup quarterbacks.

709
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.519
<v Speaker 4>You know, what happens if nor Fafida goes down or

710
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:56.119
<v Speaker 4>is having a bad year or whatever. Who's back there?

711
00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:58.079
<v Speaker 4>And who have you been impressed by anybody?

712
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 12>I think Cole Tannebaum's done a nice job. I feel like,

713
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.319
<v Speaker 12>you know, I've seen him last year anyway, and and

714
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.599
<v Speaker 12>he's he's a smart guy. He seems to be a

715
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:11.159
<v Speaker 12>steadying force back there, and he throws the ball better than,

716
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:13.920
<v Speaker 12>you know, than I expected, and so I think it's

717
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:16.760
<v Speaker 12>probably it's going to be between him, and it's also

718
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:21.000
<v Speaker 12>going to be between you know, the Braiden dormant, between

719
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.599
<v Speaker 12>him and Braiden, and Braiden's done some nice things in

720
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.840
<v Speaker 12>camp as well, so I think that's that's where the

721
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:28.440
<v Speaker 12>battle is at. How much confidence do I have in him?

722
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:30.719
<v Speaker 12>You know that I don't know. I haven't seen him

723
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 12>in game type of situation, so I can just go by,

724
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:35.880
<v Speaker 12>you know, the talent that I see, and they both

725
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.480
<v Speaker 12>have got talent, so that's not in question. I think

726
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 12>the issue is, you know, what does it look like

727
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:45.760
<v Speaker 12>when someone's firing live live MSU. So that's that's that's

728
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:48.639
<v Speaker 12>what it comes down to. So we'll see. I mean,

729
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:50.440
<v Speaker 12>all they can do is try to skrimmage these guys

730
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:53.039
<v Speaker 12>and give him as much reps as possible and you know,

731
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:54.880
<v Speaker 12>take them through all the mental aspects of it. But

732
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:56.880
<v Speaker 12>at the end of the day, you're preparing for a

733
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:59.679
<v Speaker 12>starter and you're trying to get a backup ready with

<v Speaker 3>Hey, welcome back to I the Ball Hero Fox Sports

795
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:54.079
<v Speaker 3>fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Barba, you're Jiginsalez. We have fifteen

796
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:56.079
<v Speaker 3>minutes in this segment. If you want to call us,

797
00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:59.159
<v Speaker 3>give us a call five two oh four one six

798
00:37:59.280 --> 00:37:59.840
<v Speaker 3>seventy four.

799
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:02.519
<v Speaker 4>We'd like to hear from here, you know, getting through

800
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:04.719
<v Speaker 4>what we were talking about with Lamont, I think the running

801
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:07.960
<v Speaker 4>back thing is, you know, we talked about Fafee, and

802
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:10.199
<v Speaker 4>we talk about team app we talk about Jacob Mont

803
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:13.280
<v Speaker 4>and those guys on defense. I think what's going to

804
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:18.559
<v Speaker 4>really determine what this season goes like is what happens

805
00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:22.239
<v Speaker 4>with the running backs. And if you know, I know,

806
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.280
<v Speaker 4>people say, well, that guy played in New Mexico and

807
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:26.840
<v Speaker 4>that guy played at San Jose State, but that guy's

808
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:31.360
<v Speaker 4>also a year older, a year more mature, both from

809
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:36.400
<v Speaker 4>a physical standpoint a mental standpoint. They're excited as all

810
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:39.400
<v Speaker 4>hell to come and play at Arizona as opposed to

811
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:43.480
<v Speaker 4>being in the Mountain West Conference. You're going to get

812
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:48.400
<v Speaker 4>their best and if they're that physically talented and just

813
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:52.000
<v Speaker 4>that you know they have the physical capabilities, I think

814
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.199
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be go a long way toward figuring

815
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:55.400
<v Speaker 4>out what this team is going to do this.

816
00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 3>No, I totally agree with you that running game was

817
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.639
<v Speaker 3>gonna should be fun, should be nice. Like I said

818
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.719
<v Speaker 3>Coleman to me, and I said a few times last

819
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:05.320
<v Speaker 3>year right that he was, in my mind one of

820
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:06.559
<v Speaker 3>the key players.

821
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:10.400
<v Speaker 4>If not, he's he's the guy that really got six

822
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:12.880
<v Speaker 4>yards of going in in that in that second half

823
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:14.159
<v Speaker 4>of the six.

824
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Yards a game you beat out and that gives you

825
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:19.159
<v Speaker 3>some room and third down, second down to do some stuff.

826
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:21.840
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, no, if they can duplicate that or keep

827
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:23.320
<v Speaker 3>close to that, that's that's great.

828
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:25.119
<v Speaker 4>And all you hear about this kid from New Mexico,

829
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:28.840
<v Speaker 4>j Cory Krosskey merrit is that he's a beast and

830
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:31.480
<v Speaker 4>you know we you know, and when when Lamont, when Lamont,

831
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:34.639
<v Speaker 4>who's the running back, says, I love his feet and

832
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:36.079
<v Speaker 4>what he can do in.

833
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.199
<v Speaker 3>A long time. You didn't see that A long.

834
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:40.880
<v Speaker 4>Time, I mean twenty one years been doing I.

835
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:42.199
<v Speaker 3>Thought he said like ten or twelve.

836
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:47.199
<v Speaker 4>I still I still have a picture of Uh. It

837
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:49.559
<v Speaker 4>was it was reporting day, you know, when he came

838
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:50.280
<v Speaker 4>in as a freshman.

839
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:51.599
<v Speaker 3>What year was this, I don't remember.

840
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:53.400
<v Speaker 4>It was for the eight eight season. God, I think

841
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:56.360
<v Speaker 4>eighty eight season eighty nine, I can't remember, but you know,

842
00:39:56.360 --> 00:39:58.599
<v Speaker 4>one of the two years that I covered, and uh

843
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.400
<v Speaker 4>and and all all the players, you know, the new

844
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:04.400
<v Speaker 4>recruits were gonna be a Michale and so we went

845
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:06.079
<v Speaker 4>over to Michale they were and I just remember walking

846
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:08.239
<v Speaker 4>up and yeah, he and a couple of other guys

847
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:10.559
<v Speaker 4>from the LA area who knew each other, were just

848
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:14.320
<v Speaker 4>sitting in the seats, you know, at McHale, and I

849
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:16.199
<v Speaker 4>just went up and started talking to him and thinking,

850
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:19.760
<v Speaker 4>these guys are children, Oh yeah, you know, and and

851
00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:21.480
<v Speaker 4>these guys were in high schoo last year they were

852
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:24.239
<v Speaker 4>going to their homecoming dance. Now they're here to play,

853
00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:26.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, play football. You're talking them was a very

854
00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:27.559
<v Speaker 4>highly recruited guy.

855
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And his brother yeah yeah brother.

856
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:33.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and and and and uh but anyways, it just good.

857
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:36.079
<v Speaker 4>I get that vision. I think he's been doing this

858
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:39.480
<v Speaker 4>twenty one, twenty one years. It's crazy. But anyways, when

859
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:42.639
<v Speaker 4>Lamont says, you know, I like what this these guys do,

860
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:46.239
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, you know, there might be something there that's

861
00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:48.800
<v Speaker 4>gonna that that's gonna make a difference for Arizona when

862
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:49.679
<v Speaker 4>this season gets going.

863
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:51.119
<v Speaker 3>One of the things that you said you didn't want

864
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.079
<v Speaker 3>to talk about it, and I don't either, but we're

865
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:54.079
<v Speaker 3>to talk about it anyway.

866
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:54.679
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

867
00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:59.159
<v Speaker 3>Injuries, right, obviously we remember when Scooby got hurt that

868
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:00.679
<v Speaker 3>kind of do you a few.

869
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Things and and and and got a concussion and the

870
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:04.760
<v Speaker 4>whole bit. It killed that whole season.

871
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:08.519
<v Speaker 3>And what sport do they play? Football? Guess what happened,

872
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:11.599
<v Speaker 3>and things happened, and not to not to jinx or whatever,

873
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:15.519
<v Speaker 3>but things do happen. So we'll see what happens, see

874
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:18.639
<v Speaker 3>how they can avoid avoid that. And then you know, look, look,

875
00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:22.800
<v Speaker 3>JJ McCarthy, what was a freshman first rounder. You expect

876
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:23.480
<v Speaker 3>him and then all of.

877
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:26.119
<v Speaker 4>A sudden said in one practice or one game, uh

878
00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:27.760
<v Speaker 4>preseason game, and he's gone.

879
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:28.320
<v Speaker 3>He's gone here.

880
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:30.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. But then again, on the other hand, you know,

881
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:34.039
<v Speaker 4>if Arizona you've had quarterbacks get hurt and you've gotten

882
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.679
<v Speaker 4>yourself into a better situation. Happened when colil Take, uh

883
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, got hurt when cli Take came in, and

884
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:43.360
<v Speaker 4>then when when Noel came in last year. Although it's hard,

885
00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:45.400
<v Speaker 4>it's hard to think that there's anybody and you know

886
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.719
<v Speaker 4>in the quarterback room better than Fefeeda right now.

887
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Right because you know why the players play.

888
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Harder for him. Lamon's gonna kick your But no, we

889
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:56.559
<v Speaker 4>talked about love it.

890
00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:57.239
<v Speaker 3>I love it.

891
00:41:58.079 --> 00:41:59.159
<v Speaker 4>N He's gonna beat you up.

892
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:01.360
<v Speaker 3>We keep I didn't bring that up again because he's

893
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:04.840
<v Speaker 3>laughing me. But hey, four out of five, Dennis, tell me,

894
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm okay with the four or five to tell you

895
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:13.159
<v Speaker 3>agree with me. After a while, you finally agreed with me.

896
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:16.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I think you know a friend of mine who

897
00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:19.599
<v Speaker 4>he was talking more on on you know, high school sports.

898
00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:21.519
<v Speaker 3>Uh did you ask him?

899
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:28.280
<v Speaker 4>He just said, he just said, the players know who

900
00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:32.559
<v Speaker 4>should be playing and when those guys are playing, they

901
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:38.519
<v Speaker 4>play harder. Yes, yes, the players know, yes, yeah, you know.

902
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:41.079
<v Speaker 4>The players know who the starting point guard should be.

903
00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:43.400
<v Speaker 4>The players know who the starting quarterback should be. The

904
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:45.800
<v Speaker 4>players know you know who the who the starting pitcher

905
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:49.000
<v Speaker 4>or the shortstop should be. And then when those guys

906
00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:52.800
<v Speaker 4>get in the game, they feel they feel better, right,

907
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:55.440
<v Speaker 4>they feel obligated is a good word. But they also

908
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.480
<v Speaker 4>feel like their team is better and it gives them

909
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:02.199
<v Speaker 4>more bouncing their step or whatever gives them some momentum.

910
00:43:03.159 --> 00:43:06.320
<v Speaker 3>You use, you use your word, I'll use mine. But yes,

911
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:08.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean people lamar will not to be. But you

912
00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:11.719
<v Speaker 3>guys know it's true. It's true because I've seen it

913
00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:12.280
<v Speaker 3>too many times.

914
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:14.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think you wanted to kick your butt.

915
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:17.119
<v Speaker 3>The thing about it is it also works the other way.

916
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:19.360
<v Speaker 3>If if someone if a coach, I'll see a coach,

917
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:21.480
<v Speaker 3>because it has to be a coach plays the wrong

918
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:25.400
<v Speaker 3>people or designates the captain the wrong person that's captain.

919
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:26.880
<v Speaker 3>That's a bad thing.

920
00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:29.199
<v Speaker 4>It effect. It affects things like the locker room, It

921
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.320
<v Speaker 4>affects the huddle. Yes, you know, this guy might might

922
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:35.480
<v Speaker 4>not die for a ball that he might have dove

923
00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:37.800
<v Speaker 4>for if it was somebody else, those kinds of things.

924
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Present believe that, right, Okay, no, no.

925
00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:43.559
<v Speaker 4>And that's why you think, you know, when you hear

926
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.199
<v Speaker 4>these guys talk about how much you know they love

927
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:46.639
<v Speaker 4>each other and all this kind of stuff, and you go,

928
00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:50.079
<v Speaker 4>that's hochy. Well it's not hokey if they believe it.

929
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Sure, and they love each other more when they're winning, right,

930
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:55.320
<v Speaker 3>and they don't like each other more.

931
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:58.679
<v Speaker 4>But but on the on the flip side that though,

932
00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:00.440
<v Speaker 4>when they aren't losing, and if they feel like they're

933
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:03.079
<v Speaker 4>all on the same page and all in it together, yeah,

934
00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:05.639
<v Speaker 4>you know it, it helps them get through those things.

935
00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me visit four or five years ago. Four

936
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:11.400
<v Speaker 3>years ago, I guess now, someone, do you think do

937
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:13.119
<v Speaker 3>you think that they were playing hard that year?

938
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:15.280
<v Speaker 4>Nobody was walking through a wall for him?

939
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:17.719
<v Speaker 3>And okay, no one was walking through the wall. And

940
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:19.760
<v Speaker 3>I know that we didn't talk about it because we haven't.

941
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:24.639
<v Speaker 3>And Tucson, this media stuff, it's Tucson. Everyone loves everybody, right,

942
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:27.760
<v Speaker 3>everybody loves the games. You're reporting a team, you like,

943
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:31.119
<v Speaker 3>they're not gonna say they gave up on the coach.

944
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:33.000
<v Speaker 3>No they're not, they're not. But guess what you see.

945
00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:36.440
<v Speaker 4>They gave up. I gave up on the right. Everybody

946
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:37.679
<v Speaker 4>gave up on that, damn coach.

947
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:39.960
<v Speaker 3>But you're not gonna say it, you're not gonna write it.

948
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:42.199
<v Speaker 3>But you know that, you know you know what I'm saying.

949
00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:45.679
<v Speaker 3>I know what you're saying, because there's no point you

950
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:47.239
<v Speaker 3>know what you know and you know what you see?

951
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, and we and we knew what that yeah,

952
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:52.360
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I remember, towards the end of the time,

953
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:59.400
<v Speaker 4>I was hoping, against hope that you know, that players

954
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:02.480
<v Speaker 4>would just come together, come together and say, in spite

955
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:04.760
<v Speaker 4>screw and spite up. Right, Look, Okay, this guy's you know,

956
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:06.920
<v Speaker 4>he's screwing this up and he's messing up our season,

957
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:09.559
<v Speaker 4>but we're all still in this and let's you know,

958
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:11.679
<v Speaker 4>I just kept hoping that that would happen. But it

959
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:14.119
<v Speaker 4>must have been so bad that they just didn't even want.

960
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:15.559
<v Speaker 3>To be you know, you brought that up. I don't know.

961
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Mondays Friday, we talked about having Ricky Honey on the

962
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:20.840
<v Speaker 3>show that day, Right, And that's rushing to the game,

963
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:22.559
<v Speaker 3>me rushing the game, You're rushing home to watch it

964
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:25.719
<v Speaker 3>and thinking everybody hoping against right and then by the

965
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:29.400
<v Speaker 3>time you turn the TV on, you're down whatever you're down.

966
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:31.400
<v Speaker 4>By well, they were down with two touchdowns in fifty

967
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:32.639
<v Speaker 4>six seconds or something like that.

968
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, are you thinking, how bad is this gonna get?

969
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:37.320
<v Speaker 4>Is this gonna get? They got and it kept getting

970
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.320
<v Speaker 4>where we couldn't even imagine how bad it was gonna get.

971
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.079
<v Speaker 3>No, if someone would have said that the score to

972
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:46.119
<v Speaker 3>you ten to one on twenty no, no, no way,

973
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:47.199
<v Speaker 3>keep your money.

974
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no chance, no chance at all. But yeah no,

975
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.840
<v Speaker 4>so yeah, so anyways, but and that's kind of why

976
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:54.679
<v Speaker 4>I was asking the question about the quarterbacks, is that

977
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:57.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, okay, who's back there? But I mean I

978
00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:00.000
<v Speaker 4>think if I recall, Dorman was a pretty pretty hig

979
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.639
<v Speaker 4>rating quarterback, and and so these guys, they got guys,

980
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:03.599
<v Speaker 4>and so we'll see what.

981
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Then he fits your airport team type of thing. Well,

982
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:08.199
<v Speaker 3>you know, tall guy.

983
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:12.320
<v Speaker 4>He's a good looking tall okay, but Steve, you know, again,

984
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:16.920
<v Speaker 4>that depends on what kind. I mean, he's a completely

985
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:20.119
<v Speaker 4>different player from he's a foot than it. You know,

986
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.559
<v Speaker 4>so what you know, what, what do they do different

987
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:27.400
<v Speaker 4>with him that they that they don't do with vice versa?

988
00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:29.599
<v Speaker 4>Or do they just do the same thing and that,

989
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:31.440
<v Speaker 4>and that they kind of fit that.

990
00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:34.719
<v Speaker 3>Way well, right, and they probably are totally different players.

991
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.199
<v Speaker 3>Look at Dolaura, who was more of a gunslinger type

992
00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:40.920
<v Speaker 3>of I'll get you out of this mess type of quarterback,

993
00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:43.760
<v Speaker 3>when Faffieda was more of a let's do this with

994
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.079
<v Speaker 3>a process, right, you know. And and I'm sure that

995
00:46:47.159 --> 00:46:49.679
<v Speaker 3>had something to do with the players because they were thinking,

996
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:51.599
<v Speaker 3>what's what's he doing now, what's the Laura doing now?

997
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:53.159
<v Speaker 3>Trying to do this and do that and do too

998
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:55.400
<v Speaker 3>much when it was all they needed was something just

999
00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:56.440
<v Speaker 3>to move him down the field.

1000
00:46:56.800 --> 00:46:59.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and he did. I mean he was Look, you know,

1001
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:02.760
<v Speaker 4>it's fafia guy who's gonna, you know, be launching the

1002
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:04.960
<v Speaker 4>ball down the field, you know, four or five, six

1003
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.400
<v Speaker 4>times a game. No, but that's not what he does.

1004
00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:10.400
<v Speaker 4>He is an accurate passer who just's going to move

1005
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:11.320
<v Speaker 4>the ball down the field.

1006
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:12.800
<v Speaker 3>So let me ask you this, because I asked you

1007
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.840
<v Speaker 3>this about your corporate world, not about your journalists world,

1008
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:18.639
<v Speaker 3>because I've been i haven't been a boss, and I'm

1009
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:20.840
<v Speaker 3>not don't like being a boss. So you have this

1010
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:23.800
<v Speaker 3>guy or two. I'm sure you've had a guy, the gunslinger,

1011
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:26.559
<v Speaker 3>the guy who hit a home run. And did you

1012
00:47:26.599 --> 00:47:29.119
<v Speaker 3>ever have to temper him or you just let him

1013
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:31.519
<v Speaker 3>hit the home runs knowing that he's going to strike

1014
00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:32.920
<v Speaker 3>out a lot.

1015
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:38.559
<v Speaker 4>I my as a relations to sports, I'm a you know,

1016
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:41.079
<v Speaker 4>let's let's not strike out all the time. Let's not

1017
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:45.239
<v Speaker 4>trade all the strikeouts for a homer, right, I like,

1018
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I like a consistent and then probably more, you know,

1019
00:47:48.719 --> 00:47:50.199
<v Speaker 4>I guess on the business side, do I like somebody

1020
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.480
<v Speaker 4>who can consistently do a good job? Yeah, not who's

1021
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:55.960
<v Speaker 4>spectacular here but screws it up over here.

1022
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:58.320
<v Speaker 3>That's that You've you've had those, right?

1023
00:47:58.400 --> 00:47:58.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1024
00:47:58.719 --> 00:47:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Sure?

1025
00:47:58.960 --> 00:47:59.079
<v Speaker 2>So?

1026
00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:02.000
<v Speaker 3>And how have you handled h I fired him? So

1027
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:03.599
<v Speaker 3>the home run? You didn't need the home run, now,

1028
00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:04.719
<v Speaker 3>you just needed the single.

1029
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.039
<v Speaker 4>I need somebody who could hit singles and doubles all

1030
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:07.679
<v Speaker 4>day every day.

1031
00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1032
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:11.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And and and the guy who you know would

1033
00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:14.679
<v Speaker 4>do an incredible job on and saying annual report, but

1034
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:17.960

1040
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:32.480
<v Speaker 4>but you know, but sometimes you need a single or

1126
00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:06.039
<v Speaker 4>get into the knothole section and immediately start plotting how

1127
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:07.639
<v Speaker 4>we were going to get out of the nthole section

1128
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:09.760
<v Speaker 4>and go sit up in the regular seats. Because they

1133
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:20.760
<v Speaker 4>to the restroom and say okay, So we'd go and

1134
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:22.800
<v Speaker 4>then we'd go one by one. Then we wouldn't come back.
